The campground had only been opened for 2 weeks when we arrived, but everything was in great shape. The weather mostly cooperated, and the road construction is finally almost complete. This is a great campground, with fairly spacious sites and plenty of old/tall trees.

Beautiful campground. Camping in the woods, peaceful and quiet. Sites are narrow but asphalt. A little tight for our 5th wheel, but no issues. We got a site with FHU. Stayed 1 night while passing through. Would stay here again!

Very nice, easy-off/easy-on campground off I-57. Close enough to be convenient, yet far enough away from the interstate that noise isn't a factor.
